CIRCUMSTANCES OF LOSSCorporal Raymond Barrett participated in the defense of Corregidor. His defensive position was situated near Monkey Point, on “Tailside” near the airfield.

On the night of 5-6 May 1942, Japanese forces landed on the island and the Monkey Point defenses were cut off, then overrun. Corporal Barrett was killed at or near his post before the garrison surrendered. His body was believed to be seen along the Monkey Point Trail several days after the capitulation, but the location of his burial – and whether he received one – are not known.
